Dafeng's Night Squad

Chapter 1388: Bandits (1)



On the deck of a merchant ship in the Wei River Canal in the Jian province.

Mu Nanxi was sitting on a big chair with a soft cushion in his coat. He was holding Bai Ji in one hand and fishing with a bamboo pole in the other.

On the left side, there was a table and two chairs. On the table, a small charcoal fire was burning, and a pot of fish was burning.

Xu Qi ‘an and Miao Youfang were sitting at the table, eating fish.

Bai Ji poked her head out of mu nanzhi’s arms, her dark eyes staring at her.

“I’ve been eating fish and cured meat these days. I can’t even shit.”

Miao Youfang cursed.

Xu Qi ‘an slapped him out of the chair and waved at Bai Ji.

Bai Ji broke free from the princess’s embrace and ran happily to Xu Qi ‘an’s feet on her four short legs. She looked up at him.

Xu Qi ‘an picked up Bai Ji and put a piece of soft fish belly meat in her bowl. Bai Ji buried her face in the bowl and ate it in small bites.

“You’re progressing very quickly. I estimate that in another month of training, you’ll be able to step into level five evolved Jing. At that time, as long as you don’t seek death and provoke top figures, you can go anywhere in the world.”

Xu Qi ‘an took a sip of wine and felt a little relieved.

This time, they went south to the hundred thousand mountains in the southern border.

There were currently only three people in the small team, one fox.

Among the members of the Tiandi society, li Miaozhen was chivalrous and liked to serve justice. When the disaster happened, people everywhere were in dire straits and always wanted to do something, so it was difficult for him to stay by Xu Qi ‘an’s side.

Chu Yuanyang was an unruly swordsman. She had no fixed home and yearned for the freedom to do as she pleased.

During his travels in the pugilistic world, he was most happy to be able to meet old friends, drink wine, and settle grudges. When the wine was finished and the matter was settled, he would embark on his journey again to pursue his sword path.

Master Hengyuan had the same mentality as the Holy maiden. Monks were merciful and had the responsibility to help the world.

As for why li lingsu didn’t follow them to the South …

When everyone woke up in the morning, the Saint had already left.

He left a letter for the members of the heaven and earth Association. The meaning was that he had recently made a breakthrough in his state of mind and wanted to go alone to understand the true essence of the Taishang emotionless skill.

In fact, when he left, all the members of the Heaven and Earth Society knew that with everyone’s cultivation base, they could clearly see the movement within a few miles.

Xu Qi ‘an lay in the warm bed and sang a farewell song to the Saint in his heart.

We didn’t say a word when we knew you were leaving that night … When you put on your bag and put down that glory, I can only let my smile remain in my heart …

After the Saint left, Xu Qi ‘an released Dongfang Wanqing, while Chai Xing’ er was still locked up in the stupa. She was fed and summoned to wash up regularly, and Miao Youfang was tasked with washing the toilet bowls.

At this moment, the person in charge of the merchant ship, manager Zhu, hurried over and said respectfully, ”

“Hero Miao, the Golden water beach is in front of us. The water flow is gentle, and there are often water bandits blocking the river to Rob. Usually, you just need to pay some silver to get there.”

Seeing Miao Youfang nod, he continued, ”

“If there are no accidents, you don’t need to do anything.”

Miao Youfang arrogantly replied with a “hmm,” maintaining his “master” demeanor.

Manager Zhu bowed and retreated.

This merchant ship belonged to the Jianzhou Chamber of Commerce. They were going to Yuzhou to do business, and Miao Youfang’s current identity was a new guest that the Jianzhou Chamber of Commerce had recruited. He was responsible for the safety of the merchant ship when it went south.

Xu Qi ‘an’s identity was not exposed. He was just an ordinary follower.

The merchant ship sailed for an hour and the water started to calm down. After another fifteen minutes, the ship slowed down.

They could only rely on the boatman in the cabin to paddle the boat.

Shua shua shua … Steward Zhu led a dozen martial arts practitioners and ran out of the cabin. They held sabers and bows on their backs, looking alert.

Xu Qi ‘an looked at the left bank and saw dozens of small boats Breaking the Waves and approaching at an extremely fast speed.

Before this, they were still docked on the shore. When the merchant ship entered this gentle River, more than a hundred water bandits on the shore immediately jumped onto the ship, paddled with the oars, and approached them as if they were cutting through the waves.

This was a small boat with two sharpened ends. It was no longer than three feet long and only three feet wide. It was light and agile, with two paddles and one oar.

why, why are there so many water bandits?!

Manager Zhu was flabbergasted, his face turning pale.

“You weren’t before?” Miao Youfang looked at him.

Supervisor Zhu composed himself, but his expression was still unsightly. He forced a smile and said,

“I’ve been through this water route a few times. In the past, there were only twenty to thirty water bandits. This … This is a big appetite …”

“What are these ships called?” Xu Qi ‘an suddenly asked.

this is a gunboat, known for its agility. It’s a boat commonly used by water bandits.

Manager Zhu was in a bad mood, he explained patiently:

“In a River Basin where the water flow is gentle, merchant ships are not as fast as these small boats. The guns in their hands are used to Pierce the bottom of our ship. Guns are not their only means. They also have the kerosene to burn the ship.”

As they spoke, the group of spear-wielding ships was already less than three Zhang away from the merchant ship. Steward Zhu walked to the side of the ship, took a deep breath, cupped his hands and shouted, ”

“Heroes, I am Zhu Wen, all brothers in the four Seas. It is not easy to come out and make a living. I have prepared 50 taels of silver for all of you. Please do me a favor.”

Fifty taels of silver was quite a large sum of money for passers-by.

During Xu Qi ‘an’s time in the capital as a night watchman, he did not eat or drink, and his annual salary was only 50 taels.

“Fifty taels, are you trying to send off a beggar?”

A sneer came from one of the gunships.

Manager Zhu and the others looked towards the source of the voice. It was a man dressed in black with a large cloak draped over his shoulders. He had a blade at his waist and was standing steadily at the bow of the ship.
